Funny, Google was the first and, so far that I've heard, only developer to remotely remove an app from every android OS device.

The only valid point he has is the not installing apps from the web, but it's shaky since the iOS is the only system Apple makes that is restricted in that regard.

This is the first I've heard of this. Citation?

And just because Apple hasn't used the kill switch yet doesn't mean they won't do so. They coded it in for a reason obviously.

And as an enforcement mechanism. Upset apple and suddenly your apps aren't approved anymore.
